When did you feel second baby move?

I'm currently 14.5 weeks pregnant with DC2 and wondering when I'll be able to feel this baby move.
I constantly feel 'sensations' but put a lot of it down to my c-section scar & uterus stretching etc, but this morning have felt some new twinges.

When did you feel your second baby move?

Congratulations on your pregnancy! I felt my baby moved very early on (4 months) but it all depends on where the baby is positioned, the amount of amniotic fluid... Share your concern with your midwife; it's probably nothing to worry about but it will put your mind at rest.

I am currently 26 weeks with my second and I have been feeling him since around 16 weeks though the movements in the beginning were so faint that I could have also put it down to wind. It was only when it started to happen more frequently that I realised that it must be the baby.

I felt some tiny twinges from 15-16 weeks, though it only really became obvious around 18 weeks.

17 weeks definite movements but some flutters from 16 weeks.

I felt flutters from 14 weeks and then definite movements at 16 weeks! Now 22 weeks and she doesn’t stop haha.

Flutters from about 15/16 weeks, proper kicks from 20 weeks.

I swear I could feel DC2 very early on. Around 14 weeks I think. Certainly a few weeks before the 20 week scan anyway. He loved kicking down low, which made it easy to identify.

Currently 20 weeks and not felt baby move. I was concerned but at my 20 week scan they found I have an anterior placenta so apparently unlikely to feel movements for another few weeks.

Thanks for the responses, forgot I posted this thread! I'm pretty positive I haven't felt any movements yet 😂 but there's plenty time. I carry a bit of extra weight on my stomach and not sure where my placenta is yet.

I'm nearly 19 weeks and have felt some 'maybe' / 'probably' movements but nothing that's made me 100% certain. I do have anterior placenta so I'm trying not to worry. In reality I'm very anxiously waiting for my 20wk scan to know all is well!

Around 17 weeks, placenta is fundal (at the top of uterus)
Feeling lots of movement now at 20 weeks.
